Is this mycelium?
    #21811260 - 06/15/15 03:48 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I have 6 half pint jars all with this growing not sure if it's mycelium or a contamination. I used b+ and it's been 6 days.

The spawn is brown rice flour and a few other things with vermiculite on top I purchased from a vendor. Thanks for the input. It's my first attempt and praying it's not cobweb

even if it is cobweb most mycelium will over come cobweb like that in your spawn jars. I usually put peroxide on it and it will clear right up. for every 10 parts water you mix in one part peroxide in a spray bottle. but in your case use a spore syringe that you have left over. cobweb is really not hard to handle if you catch it early. I would honestly just wait to do anything until like week 3 . it will become really apparent what it is exactly

Will the peroxide harm the mycelium if it's not cobweb and should I use the same sterilization process on the peroxide syringe

Looks fine to me, but is that a tiny green spot in the centre or just the lighting?

You should look into making your own jars in the future. Certain vendors pack the substrate too tightly or don't PC the jars long enough which leads to frustrating contamination problems. A PC is the most expensive item to get to be a successful mush cultivator, but it's worth it if you wanna get into making monotubs to get some serious yields. :smile:

I'm pretty sure it's just the lighting. But you don't think it looks like cobweb ?
I am planning on purchasing a pc. I just wanted to do a test run to make sure my climate wouldn't be an issue. But I'm very excited to try a monotub and yield more fungus. Thanks a lot for all the advice. You guys rock.

I'm not sure about the jar, only time will tell if the mycelium will overtake any possible contamination.

Good choice man, getting a PC and making some grain jars is the best way to go to get higher yields for sure. I was in your position like 6 months ago, just learning about cultivating and had many failures in the past using pre-ordered brf jars and got very frustrated and wanted to leave this hobby for good. But, I read about grains and how easy they are to prep, so I followed a simple tek and now I can grow how much I feel like with confidence. I recommend using this simple, beginner friendly tek for your first time growing, its got step by step instructions with videos: https://www.shroomology.org/topic/8670-6-quart-dub-tub-mist-and-fan-bulk-tek/

And if the room temp is between 70-80f then you should have proper conditions for colonization and fruiting stages, with fruiting being the lower end of the spectrum. Good luck on your future grows!! :awethumb:

Nah I don't think it's cobweb dude.  But I'm a relative noob, so I'm not the best one to ask.  That's how my BRF jars looked when I did mine, in fact I just knocked up some others 5/6 days ago and they look just like that.
